Macular disease is the biggest cause of sight loss in the UK, with around 300 people diagnosed every day. The Macular Society is the only charity determined to beat the fear and isolation of macular disease with world class research, and the best advice and support.
To support people affected by macular disease now, the Macular Society provides a range of support, information and services. Our research programme is focused on finding new treatments and a cure to Beat Macular Disease forever.
If you can create content in a range of formats to make sure that people living with macular disease get the information they need, when they need it and if you have excellent research and communication skills and are confident managing multiple projects at once then we would love to hear from you.
